Sony SRS-XP700, Powerful Bluetooth party speaker with omnidirectional party sound, lighting and 25hrs battery, Black

Product Information

The one feature that should matter in a wireless speaker is its battery life. And Sony has claimed a massive 25 hours of battery life when fully charged. But if you keep MegaBass and LED lights on, and the volume set to the maximum while streaming Bluetooth audio it The SRS-XP700 features three high-efficiency tweeters on the front, and one rear high-efficiency tweeter. The aim is to output an expansive sound, boasting “punchy and deep bass” as well as plenty of clarity. Thanks to a built-in rechargeable battery you can take the Sony wherever you fancy. A 25-hour battery life makes it perfect for a weekend long festival or a couple of sunny days in the garden. With two USB charging ports, you can keep your smartphone or tablet charged up while you play. Even with the MegaBass feature turned off, the SRS-XP700 delivers serious bass thud that approaches the kind of low-end thunder you might hear from a club PA. This isn’t some sort of approximated bass depth produced by a passive radiator—the drivers are really delivering a substantial thud. Turning on MegaBass when the volume is high should send jolts of sheer joy through fans of intense low frequencies, and seriously annoy your neighbors. The other change includes the new X-Balanced speaker units for deep, punchy Sony style (MEGA) Bass. More on sound later!

Battery life is a stonking 30 hours, and like the other X-Series speakers you can plug in a microphone or guitar and go “Stars in Your Eyes” with your best impressions. With the ambient lighting feature at either end of the speaker, you can set the mood to whatever vibe you want. Enjoy the same song, multiplied, with Party Connect. Connect up to 100 compatible wireless speakers via Bluetooth technology and synchronize the music and lighting so everyone's dancing to the same beat.

So you can rest assured that if you manage to spill your drink or if it starts raining, you are safe thanks to the IPX4 splash resistance rating that certifies that the XP700 speakers can handle the occasional splashes and spills. Sony says these speakers are “specially designed” to provide a powerful and wide-spreading sound that compliments any genre of music. So lets dig into each speaker in more detail. Sony SRS-XP700 Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 28th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.)

All in all, you can use it in various modes (Car, Home Theatre, Party, Karaoke) thanks to its unique design and a built-in sensor that optimizes audio accordingly to maintain sound quality whether you place it horizontally or vertically. Sound The smallest (but still massive) wireless speaker in the X-Series range is the SRS-XG500. Like the XP500, it features two front high-efficiency tweeters combined with passive radiators to reproduce bass frequencies. With its IP66 rating it’s water resistant and dustproof, so you can pretty much use this speaker anywhere – just don’t let it fall into a pool. If you want to be the Guitar Hero, Karaoke King or the Party Prince of a party then the SRS-XP700 are a must-have. I have been counting days to the 15th of August so that I can announce in the neighbourhood that Karaoke King and the Party Prince has arrived. This will be the most epic Independence Day celebrations thanks to the Sony SRS-XP700 speakers and I can’t wait to share photos and video from it. The concept of party speakers certainly isn't new, but of the Bluetooth speakers launched in the era of the pandemic, we've seen more success in smaller, personal speakers such as the Sonos Roam, which we loved for its rugged, compact design and lush but not loud sound.The XP700 is the biggest speaker and can be placed vertically or horizontally, so you can imagine this would be very practical for hosting large groupings. Battery life is 25 hours, and the IPX4 water resistance means it is protected in wet conditions. Bring some extra passion to your party with the multi-colour ambient lights. Flashing in time with the music, you can change the colour to suit the mood of the party. When standing or sitting vertically, all the controls/buttons for Power, Bluetooth pairing, Play/Pause, Volume Up/Down, and MegaBass are on the top. At INR 32,990 they are value-for-money for people who need big sound, but if you don’t want to spend that much and still need all the goodies then you can also consider its smaller avatar – SRS-XP500 that comes for INR 26,990. Lastly, you also get the compact boombox style SRS-XG500 that are dust and weatherproof but come at a steep price of INR 32,990 for a compact speaker. You will be able to buy any of the three new X-series speakers from August 10, 2021.

The Sony Music Center app feels a tad superfluous. DJ effects like flanger and isolator can be fun for a minute, and a Sound section lets you play with a meager three-band EQ (only available with MegaBass disabled). The app also lets you toggle some audio processing features we generally recommend leaving off, including ClearAudio+, LiveSound, and MegaBass. If you want to use MegaBass, it can be enabled/disabled on the speaker itself, so there's no need to dig through the app for it. Arguably, the most useful part of the app is the Illumination section, where you can choose various LED patterns, including the all-important Off. Featuring two, adjustable inputs, the SRS-XP700 makes an ideal speaker for karaoke or intimate gigs. Use as a guitar amp and you’re ready to entertain in moments. The SRS-XP700 Portable wireless speakers say it out loud that they are wireless party speakers. The design is not anything out of the ordinary that set them apart. But there are subtle Sony touches that make them exclusive – like the new concept LED indirect illumination lighting. While all the other Party Speakers in the market have in your eyes flashy lights, engineers at Sony have taken a different route. They have included colourful flashing lights but they are concealed and create a beautiful reverb of lights.

Fancy yourself a karaoke star? You can subject your family and friends to your warbling by plugging in a microphone and even a guitar. And with the new Ambient Lightning feature, the XP700 can be customised to bring a pulsating feel to parties or more of a relaxing ambient glow. Then there is Party Connect which lets you connect up to 100 compatible speakers across the Sony portfolio to sync music and lights. Just a pair of XP-700s can shake the room, imagine putting 100 of them together. The Unbiased Verdict – SRS-XP700 Even though it is a wireless speaker system, you get a plethora of ports – 2 USB-A ports, one for charging mobile devices and the other for playing music, a 3.5mm input (no cable is included), and also the connection for the power cable. If you’re going to party then why not do it in style! The SRS-XP700 uses innovative omnidirectional sound, for room-filling music. The X-Balanced speaker system provides the heft while the twin tweeter units give crystal-clear clarity right around the speaker – letting everyone in the room hear the music at its best.
